Epic blizzard

yep, thats me, enjoying the snow!!! never saw so much snow in my life, and i enjoyed it, very much!!

according to cnn, the blizzard was huge, but not as historic as they were reporting it could be before it happened. but to us, it was all those words. epic, historic, fun, amazing!! the only discomfort i experienced was a quite sleepless night. the wind was going crazy around our apartment, and i just could not sleep.... we did not loose power, nothing bad happened, so for us it was really only fun. while we got up, the snow-removal-team was already working hard again removing all snow (it took them the entire day). as public transport was suspended also today for the entire day, we just spent the entire day outside around our place. my goodness, there was so much snow!! just down the street is a park, and thats where we did some sledding as you can see above. there was no snow-removal in the park, and trudging through knee-deep (or deeper, at places) snow is really tiring, i found out! finally, finally, my winterjacket and boots were put to good use. i bought both after our first winter here in boston, and then never really needed them.... 

public transportation is suspended tomorrow as well, which is too bad, as i would have liked to go into boston and have a look at the city in white... but driving is allowed again (from 4pm on friday until 4pm today driving was not allowed, due to the weather. only emergency workers, snow removers etc were allowed on the road). i guess we will just stay around the house and enjoy the snow a little more before its gone again....
